Angry Video Game Nerd vs. Halloween

Sixteen minutes ago I made a very bad decision and watched the Angry Video Game Nerd's painfully humorless Halloween video. It follows the same premise as almost every other Angry Nerd video. The Nerd plays a bad game and lets us know how bad it is. To his credit, he doesn't say the game sucks shit or that he'd rather suck an elephant's balls than play it again. He can't really muster any emotion at all about this game, which makes for a pretty boring review.

Since this is the Halloween video, some trick-or-treaters show up. But look at this:

That's not a front porch. These kids are inside. Is it an apartment building maybe? No. When the Nerd leaves later, you can see coats hanging on the wall.

Is it a closet? Is it the hall outside his bedroom at his mom's house? What? You couldn't move the camera to the front door for this shot? Do a little actual editing? Maybe they're the Nerd's little half-brothers doing a little warm-up before hitting the streets for the real deal. Wouldn't want to pull a hammy.

So now the Nerd has reviewed 3 games and taken a dump in a kid's trick-or-treat bag. Why is this video only half over? Because now we have to watch him take on Michael Myers in the basement with a pair of Atari wireless controllers. I thought this guy was a game critic. Now I have to sit through his cheesy fanfic remake of Halloween?

And this thing got an average viewer rating of 9.3. Out of 10. Am I missing something? Is the Nerd's new subtle humor lost on me? Maybe he was never funny and I just didn't know any better. I mean, I thought Garfield was funny when I was a kid. I had all the books and everything. Then, years later I went back and read them again and was left wondering what the hell was wrong with me.

Okay, that's enough of this. I've got a hard drive full of ROM files I should have been playing.
